this morning I traded my 2000 Heritage Softail Classic for a 2009 Street Glide FLHX I rode around for a couple hours to get used to the bike and so far I'm loving it. I can actually go far away and be comfortable. the Heritage was a great ride for me but I wanted something with a radio, bigger tank and a fairing. the bike has ABS/Security Rhinehart pipes, Screaming Eagle intake, removable passenger backrest(I wanna get a removable rack, what's a good one?) not sure about the tuner yet. it also has a couple chrome pieces here and there. I got a good deal on it so I went for it....... I'll post a pic tomorrow or the next day, color is red(forgot which red) I can't believe how fast this thing is compared to the heritage, I didn't even use 6th gear yet(I will for sure)

Did something similar a few years back. Traded my 2002 Heritage on my 2009 SG. In my case the Heritage was faster, but the SG does just fine with a 103.

I promised the woman and myself I would hold off on the extras for a while, but of course as soon as I got home I was all in the harley website looking for stuff. and of course this place is no friggin help. all i really need right now is a rack for an extra carry bag, I already have the passenger backrest and obviously the
the docking point............. but I know me, by the end of next week I will have spent a grand on this thing and still not happy............ we'll see, but I know I'm living a lie...

I went from a soft tail to a cruiser, therefore I can identify.

So what's the "Must Have's" for this bike? I'm already thinking removable rack, upgraded amp and speakers, gps(this bike is set up for it with the module on the fairing) maybe a tuner(if it doesn't have one already) I have a Lenale cooling fan from the other bike but I have an oil cooler on this bike so I dunno if I need it, we'll see.............. what's the recommendation's...........
